NASA's Deep Space Network, which receives signals from deep space, is experimenting with a hybrid antenna that can receive both radio and laser signals.
Psyche spacecraft: The laser beam fired from Psyche spacecraft, named after the asteroid, is part of a scientific mission that NASA launched in October this year to explore Psyche, a giant metal rich asteroid, about three times farther away from the Sun than is Earth.
NASA's Pscyhe spacecraft sent the "first light," a laser beam signal from 10 million miles away that marks a milestone in advanced communication technology.
